Moving On Aerobics for Cancer Survivors

Posted Sep 12 2008 4:28am

by Dr. Martha Eddy, Director of Center for Kinesthetic Education

Did you know that its Ovarian Cancer Awareness month? Next month is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Using our body-mind (somatic) approach to fitness we have helped hundreds of survivors to feel better, have more energy and to be stronger physically. In particular I designed Moving On Aerobics in response to a colleagues experience of deep fatigue due to chemo. Due to her persistent research she learned over seven years ago what journals are making commonplace knowledge over the past year and a half - aerobic exercise is a great boon to cancer survivorship (and prevention).

As an exercise physiologist and dancer it was natural to create a program including dance and aerobics. What the somatic approach also brings to Moving On Aerobics is careful awareness of the body, working with breath support and three-dimensionality, as well as being open to taking time to speak about our life experiences, worries, and joys.

Classes throughout New York City are free or by donation. For more information visit Moving On Aerobic’s calendar
